The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper

Chapter 0568

I woke up to find that Lily was gone. The pillow in her place not providing the same sense of calm that having her body next to mine does. I was just getting dressed to go find her when her panicked scream came through the mind link.

I reached out to Anders, telling him that Lily was in trouble. She must have gone off on her own, knowing

that she was marked, but no one else knows that.

When she tells me she’s at the lake. I open my mind link to all the warriors, Anders, Patrick and Calvin, letting them know that Lily is at the lake and in trouble.

I don’t wait for them to respond, I rush out the back door, shifting into Donovan as I jump off the back step. We race to the lake, catching the scent of Aaron Raines and Alpha Mahli. That asshole will pay for this. He’s still trying to sell his daughter to pay for his debts.

I hear Lily tell them she’s already marked and mated a moment before I see Aaron’s arm shoot up to hit her. I shift back, grabbing his arm, threatening his life if he ever lays a hand on her again. Rather than dealing with him, I punch him in the face, knocking him out.

Lily’s mom rushes over, leaning over her husband. “You killed him!” She screams.

“Mother, you idiot. If he were dead, you’d feel it. Clint just knocked him out.” Lily says and I can tell something is wrong. Her voice is off, her lungs rattling like they have fluid in them.

I turn, pulling her into my arms as I glare at Alpha Mahli. “As you have seen, Lily is marked and mated.

You can’t have her.”
